Liz the owner of the Bervie knew exactly what we wanted. She put buckets and spades outside the door for our children, knew my husband would want extra bacon - that the children would eat their eggs if she made a fuss about putting egg cozies on! She was wonderful - and the Bervie was heavenlike. The views were astonishing... More

We had a wonderful and hospitable stay at the Bervie. Elizabeth and John are welcoming, warm and first class hosts. The accommodation is bursting with character in the rooms and the public areas. There is nothing quite like whiling away the evening with a good book, a glass of wine and a peat fire in the sitting room. We were... More

We had absolutley atrocious weather during our stay in August 2011, but staying at Bervies really made up for it - we have been to Achill a few times, normally trapped in a camper van trying to dry our clothes, so the weather was not a suprise, but the ambience of this small guest house really was. John and Elizabeth... More

We stayed here 2 nights. We arrived during the dinner service but despite the hosts being very busy, they welcomed us very warmly and attentively. The hotel is beautifully situated and our sea view room had a truly good sea view. The backyard of the hotel opens right on to the beach. The room was comfortable with a better bed... More

We were only there for one night and even though the weather wasn't great we really, really loved. It is a total gem and the island is so beautiful. The best breakfast we had our entire stay in Ireland and we were there for 18 days. I would love to go back when it is warmer and stay there for... More

The Bervie Guesthouse has a spiritual quality that fills you with love. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with such welcoming that it felt that we had come home. The family history indeed danced before our feet and enveloped us with safety and a longing for more. We could have stayed a lifetime and we felt that... More

On our first trip to Ireland in 1996 we found the Bervie by chance through the recommendation of a local gentleman we met. We loved it then and we loved it on our most recent trip. Elizabeth and John are fantastic hosts and go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and at home. We love the Bervie -... More
